Directions

Add the ground beef to a Dutch oven or soup pot over medium-high heat. Cook until browned, breaking the meat up as you go along (about 8-10 minutes).

Once the beef has browned, take it out of the pot and transfer it to a paper towel lined plate. Discard most of the fat from the pot but don't wipe it out.

Add the oil, butter, onion, carrots, and celery to the pot and sauté for 5-7 minutes.
- 4
Stir in the garlic, Italian seasoning, and flour, and cook for about a minute, stirring nearly constantly.
- 5
Add in the chicken broth. Give it a good stir to ensure the flour has dissolved and the flavorful browned bits are scraped up from the bottom of the pot.
- 6
Add in the Worcestershire sauce, cream, potatoes, corn, and cooked beef. Increase the heat to high and bring the soup to a boil. Once it's boiling, reduce the heat to a rapid simmer so it's gently boiling.

Cook, with the lid slightly open, until the potatoes are tender (about 20 minutes). Stir occasionally.

Generously season the soup with seasoning salt & pepper.
